As promised ill be starting the
ok im using a Tamiya Modellers Knife, Metal Ruler, adhesive lacquer, syringe w/ blunt needle, Cutting Mat, tweezers, cyanoacrylate Thin (Super glue), a dull needle or similar, and a pair of scissors for rough cutting.
the syringe is for easy application and dosage of the glue
of cause it doesnt have to Tamiya any model knife can be used, in the end its what you feel most comfortable with.
now the super glue is not a must... but i find it very useful in certain situations!
the needle is for bevel the paper on foldlines...(if u have absolute no clue as to what i just wrote, tell me and ill post a video of it)
now first up, a little fun fact:
These are in scale!!
and remember:
to those of you out there who is also building this model, ask me if u have any trouble with this build... or if you feel that i havent explained a troublesome part, thoroughly enough!
what i did firstly was to scan the pages from the original magazine and scale them up from A4 to A3 which changes the size from 50 cm in length to 75 cm
thats why it seems so big on my cutting mat, just an info so you dont get confused

Ok here we go!
First some simple parts should be straight foreward
now this bigger piece, its important to start glueing the big flaps first, to make sure they lineup with the panelines.
a friend of mine could not figure out how the next big piece would fit together, it actually to me a couple of glances..
the need to be seperated first
this is it for today.....

so i started making this papercraft originally created by Thunderchild.
and i decided to make it more detailed....
made most of the parts needed but so far i only worked further on the
Bridge and prometheus

Hello all!
First post, long time lurker & lover of Macross/Robotech.
Like many people here, I am getting ready for the new tabletop game coming out. And seeing as I have been "volunteered" by my group to be the GM, I am looking for props for scenario games. Although I have collected a fair amount of props for battles on Earth, (battle mats, terrain, 6mm scale people & cars, scale papercraft ships and buildings, etc.), I need help with a couple of props for space encounters. I've seen some AMAZING things here, (that scale Zentradai scoutship comes to mind), so I know I'm in the right place.
I'm requesting some help in finding nice top-down image of the Oberth Space Destroyer to use as a flat scale replica for scenarios. (Yeah, I know there's the 200m vs 390m lengh debate; I'll cross that bridge when I get to it) I'd also like one of the Star Goose, as well. The only line art I can find is straight-on, sideview, and even directly behind, but nothing from directly overhead. Does anything like this even exist? Perhaps in the instructions of the old 1:1000 scale resin kit? I've tried downloading the papercraft version, but the .pdo file just doesn't look all that great for this sort of print. And I'm just not skilled enough to make a 1:285th scale Oberth from paper! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
